We’re also hosting trashion workshops, (fashion made from recycled materials/trash). Learn to make ready wearables from recycled plastics. Artichoke Dance creates costumes and sets repurposing single use plastic materials otherwise headed for landfill. Join us in this creative practice to make your own trashion. We’ll provide all the materials and guidance, but if you have plastic bags, straws, bottles, cups, caps, etc, feel free to bring them, we’ll put them to good use. If you are performing with us on June 15, this will be your costume.

Background:

Global Water Dances is an international platform to raise awareness of water issues and advocate for access to clean water worldwide. The Gowanus Canal was given Superfund status by the US government because it is one of the most polluted waterways in the United States. Artichoke Dance Company is committed to upcycling materials for sets and costumes using single use plastics, which clog waterways and endanger marine and human life.
